Vintage Fred Arbogast Tipsy, 2/5oz tiger fishing lure #18750

Bold black vertical bars define the tiger color pattern on this specimen, contrasted against a yellowish-tan body and a bright orange accent near the nose. At a weight of 2/5oz (12g), the Fred Arbogast Tipsy remains in unused condition within its original vintage blister pack. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure is engineered to swim on its side to mimic an injured minnow. This USA-made rarity, listed under product code 18750, carries the "Bait of Champions" heritage often found in private collections. The packaging features classic brand illustrations on the reverse side, highlighting its lineage alongside legendary lures like the Jitterbug. Gold-finished hooks are positioned specifically to support the unique side-swimming orientation of its presentation.
